Those midcentury designers were so darn clever. Not only did their wares look super-cool, many of them were multifunctional as well.

Take this 1950s Italian tripod lamp. It can be used as a task light, a spotlight, and even a wall sconce. Simply swivel the green metal diffuser around as needed, or stick the whole thing up on the wall with the integrated hanging loop. (And did I mention that it's pretty stylin', too?)
